This butterfly is on the sugar snap peas we experimented with this year. It has been many years since we tried growing peas. We decided long ago to stop trying to grow peas because of the difficulty of harvesting them and disease problems. We have solved the harvesting issue but apparently not the disease. After growing healthy for weeks they are now are yellowing and dying. Ah well it was a valiant effort and nice to get at least a small crop of peas before the plants die completely.
